Sure! You can sell whatever you like! The trick is finding a buyer.

Hello good sir, would you be interested in giving me one million dollars for these exclusive, limited-time offer bonds which will mature in 100 years for a whopping 5% ROI? That's $50,000 in free money^†^. Your grandchildren will thank you!

~~† not adjusted for inflation~~

Well, it's not uncommon in some countries with perpetual loans for individuals, so sure!

It's usually a matter of agreeing the right interest and offering the right security. You will get a worse deal than Google.
